A Capitol Time

A couple of weeks ago, hubby and I went to visit our firstborn who lives in Virginia. He works at the US Capitol, and on Saturday afternoon he gave us a personal tour of the building. I took lots of pictures, so I thought I'd give everyone a little mini-tour.

The first photo shows the view of the Capitol as we approached from the Capitol South Metro station.

If you've never been to our nation's capital, I highly recommend it. It's extremely easy to get around the city (I love the Metro!), the people are friendly, the buildings are really cool, and for history geeks like me, there's plenty to do. Make those reservations now!

The Capitol is looking good. Were you anywhere near the Holocaust Museum during yesterday's shooting?I haven't been to DC for several years. I used to go all the time for various demonstrations, which always allowed time for site-seeing and walking around. It's been 3 or 4 years at least. My ex- and I used to go down for the 4th of July, too, to demonstrate and see the fireworks.

Wow, Joyce, great photos. I've been to the Capitol, but it must have been 45 years ago, when I was a kid. My youngest daughter and I were in DC about 10 years ago, but we didn't spend nearly enough time there. She wanted to go to the museums, especially the Air & Space Museum, so that's what we did.
